HiTec Paper.

High Performance.

Mitsubishi HiTec Paper in Germany is part of the global success story that is the Mitsubishi Paper Group. Our two locations, Bielefeld in Westphalia and Flensburg in Schleswig Holstein, both enjoy a long papermaking tradition: in Bielefeld paper has been manufactured for more than two hundred years and in Flensburg the roots of our mill can be traced back over three centuries. We still produce our own base paper at both mills, and we use 6 different coating technologies for single, double-sided and multiple coating.

Paper has been manufactured at our Bielefeld mill close to the Teutoburg Forest in East Westphalia since 1799. At the end of the 1940’s the future potential of coating technology was recognised and this led to investments in large and above all high-performance systems. This was then followed by the construction of a multi-stage, mechanical-chemical-biological wastewater treatment plant and the on-site construction of an energy-efficient gas and turbine power plant (joint contraction with Stadtwerke Bielefeld). These decisions characterise the mill today. Responsibility and performance are our standard, now and in the future.

Papermaking has a long tradition in Flensburg and the roots of our mill can be traced back to the 17th century. Industrialization came early here. The first paper machine was built in 1848, and about 120 years later, the production of carbonless papers began in Flensburg. The production of thermal papers followed at the end of the 1980s. Something which has been preserved to this day in Flensburg is our strength to meet special customer demands through flexibility and individuality.
